Today, I spent my time brainstorming ideas for the re-write. I focused on how I can make the play more about the bullying, rather than Austin. Here are the idea's I came up with
1.) Dani TRIES to kill herself, but does not succeed. The screenplay is focused on the students in her school being questioned
2.) I stick to the same idea, but Austin begins to be bullied? (not my top choice, but an option)
3.) The bullying is going on DURING the screenplay, and Dani kills herself at the very end
4.) A court case? Her family is suing the school for doing nothing about bullying (This is something I would have to look into and research) I had this idea for my eating disorder screenplay, but it could work for this one too
5.) The boring option: Austin's thoughts at her funeral, mainly flashbacks
Reflection: I think I deserve a 100 for this post. I mainly sat here and thought about the screenplay today, and it gave me a lot to think about. I think that #'s 1, 3, and 4 could be possible options. #4 was the idea for my next screenplay about eating disorders, and i'm sure i'm really ready to make that the storyline for this one, but if it came down too it, and I couldn't think of any other direction for this screenplay, it could be something to play with.
